New CEO to steer growth strategy
Bridon has announced the appointment of Jonathan Templeman
to the role of CEO. Based at Bridon’s headquarters in Doncaster,
Jonathan’s key role will be to develop a strong vision and strategy
that will provide a development framework for Bridon over the next
five years.
Jonathan will also be responsible for reinforcing Bridon’s brand,
whilst strengthening the company’s position worldwide.
Talking about his appointment Jonathan said, “I am delighted at
this opportunity to build on the strength and reputation of such
a strong brand like Bridon. With a heavy presence in the oil and
gas, mining, construction and structural markets, I look forward to
expanding the business into new markets and new product areas
across these industries, taking our customer service to the next
level. Bridon has remained resilient during the recession and is
now well placed to benefit from recovery in some of our end-user
markets. As a result we plan to expand our sales force, especially
for the emerging markets, and strengthen our technical and
customer service teams to position the organisation in good stead
for future growth.”
Steve Brimble, managing director of Bridon said, “We are very
pleased to welcome Jonathan into Bridon at an exciting time for
the company. With plans to review our current product portfolio
and develop a customer led technology roadmap, we believe
Jonathan will add value and guide us in our market and product
development efforts with his extensive global experience.”
